Subject: Gatorbox and Sequent - incompatible?
Summary: why does gatorbox not work to sequent server

Probably incomplete third-hand background info: we have macs which
access unix files by way of AppleShare and a Cayman Gatorbox. Filesystems
on Sun servers were visible as slow mac volumes, and all was well.
Now important file systems have been transferred to a Sequent server,
and the Gatorbox can't get at them.

The person who maintains the Gatorbox claims to have it direct from
Cayman that they cannot mount Sequent filesystems; end of story, case
closed.  But can anyone tell me *why* this should be?  Or better still,
can anyone offer a counterexample of a gatorbox that does work with Sequent
(and how was it done)?
